General safety

Any modications or repairs must be performed by qualied personnel only.

Do not heat food or liquids sealed in containers for the microwave function.

Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, or steam or high-pressure cleaners to clean the oven.

Do not install the oven: near a heater or ammable material; locations that are humid, oily,

dusty or exposed to direct sunlight or water; or where gas may leak; or an uneven surface.

This oven must be properly grounded in accordance with local and national codes.

Regularly use a dry cloth to remove foreign substances from the power plug terminals and

contacts.

Do not pull, excessively bend, or place heavy objects on the power cord.

If there is a gas leak (propane, LP, etc) ventilate immediately. Do not touch the power cord.

Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

While the oven is operating, do not turn it off by unplugging the power cord.

Do not insert ngers or foreign substances. If foreign substances enter the oven, unplug

the power cord and contact a local Samsung service centre.

Do not apply excessive pressure or impact to the oven.

Do not place the oven over fragile objects.

Ensure the power voltage, frequency, and current matches the product specications.

Firmly plug the power plug into the wall socket. Do not use multiple plug adapters,

Safety instructions

Microwave warning

Microwave heating of beverages may result in delayed eruptive boiling; always use caution

when handling the container. Always allow beverages to stand at least 20 seconds before

handling. If necessary, stir during heating. Always stir after heating.

In the event of scalding, follow these First Aid instructions:

1. Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

2. Cover with a clean, dry dressing.

3. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.

To avoid damaging the tray or rack, do not put the tray or rack in water shortly after

cooking.

Do not use the oven for deep fat frying because the oil temperature cannot be controlled.

This could result in a sudden boil over of hot oils.

Microwave oven precautions

Only use microwave-safe utensils. Do not use metallic containers, gold or silver trimmed

dinnerware, skewers, etc.

Remove wire twist ties. Electric arcing may occur.

Do not use the oven to dry papers or clothes.

Use shorter times for small amounts of food to prevent overheating or burning.

Keep the power cord and power plug away from water and heat sources.

To avoid the risk of explosion, do not heat eggs with shells or hard-boiled eggs. Do not

heat airtight or vacuum-sealed containers, nuts, tomatoes, etc.

Do not cover the ventilation slots with cloth or paper. This is a re hazard. The oven may

overheat and turn off automatically and will remain off until it cools sufciently.

Always use oven mitts when removing a dish.

Stir liquids halfway during heating or after heating ends and allow the liquid stand at least

20 seconds after heating to prevent eruptive boiling.

Stand at arms length from the oven when opening the door to avoid getting scalded by

escaping hot air or steam.

Do not operate the oven when it is empty. The oven will automatically shut down for

30 minutes for safety purposes. We recommend placing a glass of water inside the oven at

all times to absorb microwave energy in case the oven is started accidentally.

Install the oven in compliance with the clearances in this manual. (See Installing your

microwave oven.)

Use caution when connecting other electrical appliances to sockets near the oven.

Microwave operation precautions

Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful exposure to

microwave energy.

• Do not operate the oven with the door open. Do not tamper with the safety interlocks

(door latches). Do not insert anything into the safety interlock holes.

• Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow food or cleaner

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Keep the door and door sealing surfaces

clean by wiping with a damp cloth and then with a soft, dry cloth after each use.

• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. Only operate after it has been repaired by a

qualied technician.

Important: the oven door must close properly. The door must not be bent; the door

hinges must not be broken or loose; the door seals and sealing surfaces must not be

damaged.

• All adjustments or repairs must be done by a qualied technician.

impurities. Use a soft cloth in soapy water to clean both the inner and outer sides

of the microwave oven. Rinse and dry well.

To remove stubborn impurities with bad smells from inside the microwave oven

1. With an empty microwave oven, put a cup of diluted lemon juice on the centre

of the turntable.

2. Heat the microwave oven for 10 minutes at max power.

3. When the cycle is complete, wait until the microwave oven cools down. Then,

open the door and clean the cooking chamber.

CAUTION

• Keep the door and door sealing clean and ensure the door opens and closes

smoothly. Otherwise, the microwave oven’s lifecycle may be shortened.

• Take caution not to spill water into the microwave oven vents.

• Do not use any abrasive or chemical substances for cleaning.

• After each use of the microwave oven, use a mild detergent to clean the

cooking chamber after waiting for the microwave oven to cool down.

Microwave oven use

How a microwave oven works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released

enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the

colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

• Defrost

• Reheat

• Cook

Cooking principle

1. The microwaves generated by the

magnetron reected at cavity and

are distributed uniformly as the food

rotates on the turntable. The food is

thus cooked evenly.

2. The microwaves are absorbed by the

food up to a depth of about 1 inch

(2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the

heat is dissipated within the food.

3. Cooking times vary according to the

container used and the properties of

the food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated

or not)

NOTE

As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even

when you have taken the food out of the microwave oven. Standing times

specied in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

• Even cooking of the food right to the centre.

• The same temperature throughout the food.

Checking that your oven is operating correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is

working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled

“Troubleshooting” on the page 42-45.

NOTE

The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be

in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum (100 % - 800 W)

is used, the water takes longer to boil.

1. Push the button to open the microwave

oven door.

2. Place a glass of water on the turntable,

and then close the door.

3. Press the Microwave button.

4. Press the START/+30s button

repeatedly to set the time to 4 or

5 minutes.

5. The microwave oven heats the water

for the set time. Check and make sure

the water is boiling.
